Subject[ 027/104] tools: hv: Netlink source address validation allows DoS
3.2-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Tomas Hozza <thozza@redhat.com>

commit 95a69adab9acfc3981c504737a2b6578e4d846ef upstream.

The source code without this patch caused hypervkvpd to exit when it processed
a spoofed Netlink packet which has been sent from an untrusted local user.
Now Netlink messages with a non-zero nl_pid source address are ignored
and a warning is printed into the syslog.
